Yes, sometimes the starter trick works and sometimes it doesn't work. The crank shaft bolt tourque spec for the SC300 and GS300 call for 243 ft.lb and that's a lot.

I alway get another guy use a pry bar holding against the flywheel( opening slot on the flywheel) and a very long plumbling pipe insert on the breaker bar.
